What does Tribeca in New York mean to you?
Have you been around the Film Festival circuit lately, and how has that factored into your work as an actor?
In what stage of the project was Randall Miller ("Nobel Son" writer/director) when he brought you in, and was it always for this character?
There was an uncomfortable scene with Eliza Dushku. Was that as fun to shoot as it looked?
You talked about independent film as being more adventurous. Having done a spectrum of work - from playing the President in "Independence Day" to independent film - do you look more at independent film now, seeing as how there are more interesting characters in it?
What was it like working with Ben Kingsley in You Kill Me?
Have you worked together before [with Ben Kingsley]?
When you're doing a piece of theater, what does it do that a film job doesn't, and vice versa? What does the film element give you as an actor that theater doesn't?
You did Edward Albee's play The Goat with Mercedes Ruehl. What was it like coming back to New York for this completely different thing, and where do you think Broadway is at right now?
To take on a theater role, do you think it's a sacrifice for these people?
Have you seen these films yet, that are playing at Tribeca?
It looked like you really enjoyed the character you played in that movie as well - he had this funny expression on his face the whole time. What was going through your mind in creating that character?
With Randall Miller on "Nobel Son" - have you worked with him before? And if not, how did he sort of gain your trust in terms of bringing you in? Was it in terms of the character, or of the others involved?
Is there one place in New York that you like to get back to every time you come here?
